Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you provide insight into the potential revenue cadence for the year, considering the positive contribution margin from Z3? A: Joe Mastrangelo, CEO: The revenue cadence will be influenced by both the backlog of early booked deals and the ramp-up of subassembly automation. We expect the first quarter to be similar to the fourth quarter due to subassembly timing. As we ramp up subassembly, labor costs will decrease, and output will increase, impacting both labor and overhead numbers, allowing us to grow through the second and third quarters and reach the run rate by the fourth quarter.

Q: How has the dynamic tariff environment affected customer demand, particularly regarding lithium-ion batteries from China? A: Joe Mastrangelo, CEO: Having an American-made product is advantageous in the current environment. The tariff situation is just one aspect; our focus is on providing a technology that works in real-world situations. Nathan Kroeker, CCO: While tariffs are a consideration, our discussions with customers focus more on the levelized cost of storage and the economic returns of their projects.

Q: Can you provide more detail on the supply chain for enclosures and why it doesn't lead to a more rapid revenue ramp-up in the first or second quarter? A: Joe Mastrangelo, CEO: We have diversified our supply chain for enclosures with multiple suppliers. However, scaling capacity and simplifying the product takes time. The timing of closing loans affected subassembly automation, which will ramp up in the first quarter, leading to more batteries coming off the line.

Q: What is the strategy for international expansion and global production scaling? A: Nathan Kroeker, CCO: We are evaluating international markets based on regulatory frameworks, market opportunities, and logistics costs. We have pilot projects in place and are prioritizing markets with attractive long-duration storage opportunities. We aim to announce more details in upcoming calls.

Q: How does the company plan to address potential hesitancy from customers due to uncertainty with IRA tax credits? A: Nathan Kroeker, CCO: Current backlog projects are unaffected by IRA tax credit uncertainties. Early-stage pipeline opportunities may see some hesitancy, but our business model is not reliant on these tax credits. Joe Mastrangelo, CEO: A long-term investment tax credit is beneficial, but our focus is on providing a flexible resource that enhances grid effectiveness and energy independence.
